Jesus’ ministry intensifies as His teachings expose the growing contrast between God’s kingdom and the world’s assumptions. These readings highlight rising tension with religious leaders, growing misunderstanding among the crowds, and the steady march toward the cross. Through parables, confrontations, and moments of compassion, Jesus reveals a kingdom that upends expectations and calls for wholehearted trust rather than cultural or political certainty.

Text: Revelation 3:14-22

A relationship with the Lord calls for total commitment.
